Hi Alex.
You cant plug again the backup interface, if not it will become vrrp master because this link is active, but dont see any other vrrp router in that link.
If you want to be sure will never become master, will have to add other interface between R1 and R2. Create other VRRP group, and join all vrrp groups with the inherit command like in the following example but using several units or interfaces.
What vrrp-inherit-from will do is group all vrrp groups status, so R1 or R2 will be master or backup for all groups and interfaces at the same time. This way, if backup router is reachable through some other interface, will not become master while it see the master router through that interface. So master router will be always master, and backup will be always backup, unless it dont see the master router through any interface.
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.10.10.1/24 {
vrrp-group 2 {
virtual-address 10.10.10.10;
}
}
address 20.20.20.1/24 {
vrrp-group 1 {
virtual-address 20.20.20.20;
vrrp-inherit-from {
active-interface ge-0/2/0.0;
active-group 2;
}
}
}
}
}
